July 16, 200422 yr mcgriff probably, if he becomes a DH for a while..if he doesnt get enough atbats, i'll say either Bags or the big Hurt
July 16, 200422 yr Thome is hitting them faster than anyone else and has 400+/ McGriff isn't good enough to stay in baseball long enough to hit 7 more.

July 17, 200422 yr From yahoo sports: Devil Rays cut McGriff July 17, 2004 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Fred McGriff was cut Saturday by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, seven home runs short of 500. McGriff, 40, struggled after the Devil Rays brought him up from Triple-A Durham on May 28, hitting just .181 with two homers and seven RBIs in 27 games. He hasn't homered since June 17 against Mark Eaton at San Diego. Tampa Bay designated him for assignment, meaning the Devil Rays have 10 days to trade him, send him outright to the minors or place him on waivers. ``If a major league club has interest in Fred. well let him go,'' Tampa Bay general manager Chuck LaMar said. The Devil Rays called up outfielder Joey Gathright and infielder Jorge Cantu from Durham. Utilityman Damian Rolls was optioned to Durham. ``I'm sentimental when it comes to Fred, but there comes a time I have to make a decision to put our best team on the field,'' LaMar said. McGriff is tied with Lou Gehrig for 21st place on the career home run list. He was trying to join Ted Williams, Willie McCovey and Eddie Murray as the only players to reach 500 homers after turning 40. A Tampa native, McGriff played for the Devil Rays from their inception in 1998 until a 2001 trade to the Chicago Cubs. McGriff has 2,490 hits and 958 extra-base hits, 30th on the career list. He has homered in a major league-record 43 ballparks. Looks like McGriff won't make it at all...
July 18, 200422 yr Can we get Odom to write a weekly column for the site? Seriously. 460802[/snapback] :lol That would own. By the way I think it will be Jim Thome the next one to reach 500. I want it to be Mcgriff hes looks like a good guy but I dont think hes going to get many more chances.
July 18, 200422 yr Here's what I'm hoping for Mcgriff. Blue Jays trade Delgado for prospects and they sign Mcgriff and he hits it where he became a star.

July 19, 200422 yr McGriff won't hit 7 more, or whatever he needs. The way Thome is hitting I expect him to reach 500 in June of 2006, and the Big Hurt will probably get there at at around the same time.
July 19, 200422 yr thome, bagwell, thome in that order. 464612[/snapback] So Thome's gonna have a few taken away, and then have to hit them again?
